Arithmetic · working shown
  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 17,256 votes, 1.5× the 11,750-vote margin.

    17,256 ÷ 11,750 = 1.5
  2. The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 21 candidates 20.3% between them.

    (45,254 + 33,504) ÷ 99,622 = 79.1% · 20,264 ÷ 99,622 = 20.3%
  3. Turnout of 82.4% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    82.4 − 86.6 = −4.2
  4. The margin narrowed from 27.1 pp in 2021 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 27.1 = −15.3 pp
  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2021.
